                    CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

            For the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994


Supplemental Schedule of Investing and Financing Activities:

  In November 1995, options were exercised with 700,000 shares of common 
     stock issued to certain officers for an interest bearing note in the 
     amount of $437,500. As a result of the exercise of these options, the 
     Company is entitled to a compensation deduction for tax purposes of 
     approximately $2,362,500 and it is estimated that such compensation 
     deduction will ultimately result in a tax benefit of approximately 
     $921,000 which has been recorded as an increase in capital in excess of 
     par. In addition, the Company has adjusted its other current assets to 
     recognize the effect of this tax benefit.

  In December 1994, options were exercised with 430,000 shares of common 
     stock issued to certain officers and directors for $24,000 and an interest 
     bearing note in the amount of $191,000. The promissory note, including 
     interest, was paid by the surrender of 23,153 NBTY common shares to the 
     Company at the prevailing market price.  As a result of the exercise of 
     these options, the Company is entitled to a compensation deduction for tax 
     purposes of $1,827,500 and a tax benefit of $731,000 which has been 
     recorded as an increase in capital in excess of par. In addition, the 
     Company has adjusted its current liability to recognize the effect of this 
     tax benefit.
